Beam Balance Test or Beam Walking

Introduction

The goal of this test is for the subject to stay upright and walk across an elevated narrow beam to a safe box/platform which is on one side of the balance beam. The time the rodent takes to cross the beam and the number of paw slips that occur in the process are to be recorded as the quantitative performance on the beam. This test usually takes several consecutive days of test: some days of training and 1 day of testing.
